Wu Xiang bit her lower lip, she naturally knew the seriousness of the matter.
Fortunately, Ruilan did not listen to her instructions and secretly poured croton powder into the well.
She originally wanted the diners of Cyclamen to have diarrhea after eating. Then someone would naturally come to settle the score with Su Liuye. It would be best to let Cyclamen go bankrupt and leave Su Liuye with nothing and be driven out of Qingzhou County.
At that time, she didn't believe that Chu Yan would still want a woman like Su Liuye.
But she didn't expect that this morning when Shaolan went to the kitchen to get breakfast, she found it was a mess. When she saw it, it turned out that someone in the hall had abdominal pain after eating breakfast.
When Wu Xiang learned the news, he was overjoyed and thought the plan was successful, so he immediately asked Shaolan to go out to inquire about the news. But when Shaolan came back, she found that things were much more serious than planned.
"Miss."
Shaolan knelt and walked to her side, and said worriedly, "I just went out to inquire, and the well was said to be poisoned! Mr. Chu went outside and invited the doctor over, although the condition of many people was stable. , but there are still a few people frothing at the mouth, if this, if someone is killed, we--"
"What happened to us?!"
Wu Xiang's eyes widened, "I asked Ruilan to release the croton, and the croton won't eat dead people at all! Besides, Ruilan didn't release it at all. What does this have to do with me?"
"This slave knows your mistake!"
Shaolan trembled.
Since the Wu family's defeat, Wu Xiang's temper has become worse and worse.
Ruilan and Shaolan were both slaves who signed a contract to sell themselves. Even if they were beaten and scolded by their masters, they could only endure it.
"You guys! Go and empty the water out of the house quickly, before you get discovered!"
Wu Xiang scolded.
She had planned to let Ruilan eat the bean flour in the water, so she asked Shaolan to prepare clean water in advance and keep it for her to drink.
Now that something like this happened, Qin Lian was suspicious of her again, so she had to quickly destroy all the evidence.
Ruilan and Shaolan got the order and hurried to do it, and the croton powder was also thrown away.
By noon, most of the diners in the backyard had recovered. Some of them went home, while the rest were waiting for Su Liuye's explanation and kept cursing.
The new master of the Yamen also came. Seeing this situation, he angrily wanted to take Su Liuye back for interrogation.
"Thank you, Master."
Yan Jinglan stepped forward and said, "Just leave the matters here to me."
"Yan Captou?" Mr. Xie was startled. After regaining consciousness, he quickly raised his hands and said, "So you are here! I was waiting for you in the Yamen this morning for a long time but didn't see you. I thought you wouldn't come until tomorrow."
Yan Jinglan said, "I was going to the Yamen to report in the morning, but on the way I met Miss Qin from Cyclamen. I learned that a poisoning case had occurred here, so I came to check first."
As he spoke, he took out the token and documents from his arms.
When Master Xie saw it, he immediately said, "Don't worry, Capt. Yan, I have already told the adults about everything. You can just go directly to the Yamen to report it."
"good."
Yan Jinglan nodded and said, "Master Xie, I will handle the matters here."
"OK--"
"Oh, you officials are so disrespectful of human life!"
Master Xie was just about to agree, when a man next to him heard their conversation and suddenly howled, "The cyclops are here to poison people. You don't want to put shopkeeper Su in jail, but you still have to let others deal with it." ?”
"I saw clearly just now that this man came here with Qin Lian. Who knows if Qin Lian is a good friend?"
"That's right, I saw it just now! I thought it was the person Qin Lian got back from there, but he turned out to be a head catcher? Do you want to help that poisonous woman Su Liuye!"
The surrounding diners' health has improved a lot, but the poisoning made them extremely angry. Now listening to the conversation between Master Xie and Yan Jinglan, they can't bear it anymore.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Master Xie was furious, "This is Capt. Yan from the capital. Is there anything wrong with leaving this matter to him?"
"Yan Captou? Who is this? I've never heard of it!" Everyone immediately retorted.
Qingzhou County is too far away from the capital, and some people have never been there in their lives.
Master Xie became even more angry when he heard this. When he was about to speak, Yan Jinglan stopped him and said coldly, "This is my first time coming to Qingzhou County today. I don't know Miss Qin. I just met her on the road. I heard that Xian We came here to investigate after someone was poisoned. This is my document."
"Hey, Yan Captou, you can't take this thing out casually!"
"No problem."
Yan Jinglan handed the document to the person in front of him.
The man took it and looked at it for a few times, his expression immediately changed, and he exclaimed in a low voice to the person behind him, "It's really from the capital!"
"What's the matter? Can people from the capital protect Su Liuye?"
"Yes, yes, we were all poisoned after having breakfast at Cyclamen. Where is that woman now? Why didn't you take her back to the Yamen for interrogation?"
"That's right! I want to protect her!"
Faced with everyone's anger, Yan Jinglan still had a cold face, "Cyclamen was poisoned this time. It seems that it has nothing to do with Shopkeeper Su at the moment."
"You fart! You just want to protect that woman! You must give us an explanation today!"
"Yes, you must give us an explanation! Otherwise we won't leave today!"
Several people in the crowd were shouting.
Yan Jinglan glanced at them for a few times, then turned around and asked the Yamen to catch the two men.
"Hey, hey! What are you doing? Why are you arresting us?"
The man kept struggling when he was caught, his eyes filled with fear. Seeing that he was about to be overwhelmed, the man quickly shouted, "What are you doing? Do you want to kill people and silence them? Help, the cyclamen are here to kill people!"
"Shut up, what are you yelling about? Didn't you see us hunting for you?"
The official scolded.
When the people around him saw this scene, their faces suddenly turned pale, but before they could say anything, Yan Jinglan walked over, took the man's wallet over, and took out a banknote from it.
"What's this?"
"This, this is my money! Why, you are not allowed to take the money out to eat?"
"Bringing a hundred taels out for dinner?" Yan Jinglan said indifferently, "This money is not worth your money."
"You, why do you say that? This is my money!"
"Why don't you buy yourself better clothes if you have a hundred taels?" Yan Jinglan said this and asked the Yamen to take him away.
The surrounding diners were still angry at first, but after hearing this, their eyes immediately fell on the man's clothes. It was not only linen and coarse cloth, but also had several patches on it.
How does such a dress look like it has a hundred taels?
"Is there someone really trying to frame Shopkeeper Su? Didn't something like this happen last time?" Someone whispered.
"Bah! What does this have to do with me? I just want to know how to deal with this matter! What should we do if we are poisoned?"
